Moses & Notebooks

I've been reading "Reading God's Word", which is a daily reading of the Bible broken down by days, weeks and "acts".  I started on January 1 and will finish right before the end of the year.  This is actually the first time that I've read the Bible from cover to cover.  And some nights I'm reminded why, and the, I think about the fact God has done so much for me, why can't I read a few chapters in the book of Numbers or the whole book of Job.  Reality hits some nights that's for sure.  Reality being that I would have had to write everything down that Moses was supposed to remember, like in a notebook with tabs!  Wow!  That's all I can say.  Do's and Don'ts abounded when Moses and the nation of Israel were in the desert, that's for sure.  What different sacrifices were observed when, what to do when someone had a skin disease.  It's actually mind blowing when you think about it or read about it.  It's times like these that I am so thankful for Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross for all of his children.  What a wonderful God that we have.  So long story short, I wouldn't have been a very good Moses or Israelite.  They'd have kicked me out pretty quick without a notebook.

Challenge for you.  Read the story of Moses escape of Egypt and journey with the Israelites.  And think about all they had to remember and then think about how you would have done back then.  Certainly makes you grateful for God's love and redemption.

Blessings and Notebooks,
